Zack stretched his arms and lifted his hand above his eyes to cover them when he looked up. He hated this type of weather. Even though it should have been cold around this time of the year it was still rather warm today. He jumped into the pool, knowing that he was alone and floated on his back for a while with his eyes closed.

Nagisa was laying on a chair nearby, relaxing as he usually does, his eyes were closed. He opened one of them as he heard a splash nearby. "Hmm? Somebody else here?" he asked aloud.

Taken by surprise by the unknown voice he opened his eyes and jumped up in the water to stand straight, taking in a mouthfull of water in the process. Still coughing he answered while he tried to see where the voice came from. ''For how long have you been here?'' he asked while he finally saw a figure laying down in a chair not far from the pool.

"Hmm?" Nagisa looked over at the person in the water. "Don't choke." he said, standing up and walking over to the edge of the pool. "I've been here for a while now. I didn't see you come in at all."

"Hmm?" Nagisa looked over at the person in the water. "Don't choke." he said, standing up and walking over to the edge of the pool. "I've been here for a while now. I didn't see you come in at all."

''I could say the same about you'' Zack swam over to the edge where the boy stood now and climbed out of the pool with a smooth movement. He took a moment to take the still unknown boy in and did a small step back since he was dripping everywhere. ''I'm Zack, and who might you be?''

"Hm? Oh no! I can! Honestly!" he said. "I just have a fear of being in the water sometimes... That's all." he looked down into the pool. "My family has had some bad experience with it, that's all."

Feeling a bit bad now about his previous comment he remained silent for a minute or two and followed nagisa's gaze into the water. Not sure wether he should ask further or not, afterall he just met this guy. He did an unnoticable step back again and raised his head to look at him. ''But you still come here, which means you don't dislike it that much either, do you?''

Nagisa looked back to Zack. "It's okay... It's just not my favorite place to be. I have a little sister who loves to be in the water, so I'm getting used to it more and more when I'm with her. So it's helping me regain its trust." he scoffed at what he said. "It's stupid, I know."

Zack gently smiled as he tried to understand his situation a bit. He knew what it was like to loose trust in something or someone you like. ''It's not stupid at all''
